Christine Nagel crafted Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne for Jo Malone London in 2022, blending a crisp and invigorating marine accord with the earthy warmth of sage. The fragrance opens with ambrette (musk mallow), creating an aromatic richness that contrasts beautifully with the sea salt and mineral notes in the heart. As it settles into its base note of sage, Wood Sage & Sea Salt offers a grounding yet fresh olfactory experience that feels both lasting and contemporary.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays for a balanced wear that highlights both the crisp marine notes and the warm sage base. This fragrance is best enjoyed during cooler weather when its salty and herbal nuances can shine without overpowering the senses.
